  1. Re:55 miles is pretty good, and not the point on Top Gear Fights Back At Tesla · · Score: 1

    If you're circuit racing and can't afford to compete - the situation these tests involve - maybe you shouldn't be there.

  2. Re:Doesn't pass the bullshit test on Top Gear Fights Back At Tesla · · Score: 1

    How isn't it deceptive?

    It's as bullshit as when they 'helped' the alkali metal reactions in Brainiac by adding explosives. For a review show to present what they expect to happen as fact, without bothering to test what actually happens is worthless and deceptive. Why have a test track at all, if you're just going to recite numbers out of a spreadsheet for your results?

    And the number of users who will bother with that can be counted on one hand.

    So he's hiring people that think outside the box by not hiring people that think outside of his box.

    The guy is just a moron who has no idea what he's talking about.

    Working for this moron would be a pretty bad choice, so I think that would be a plus.

    That you think it is a single point of failure is another reason not to hire you.

  9. Re:Was the passenger still on board? on Shuttle Discovery Docks With Space Station · · Score: 1

    It is pretty safe to say that not a single one of the all veteran and highly experienced shuttle crew would want to freely associate with you.

  10. Re:Why not leave shuttle up there? on Shuttle Discovery Docks With Space Station · · Score: 1

    It's going to make it pretty hard for the rest of the crew to get down when there are no spacecraft there after the shuttle crew takes them all.

    Yet, all your examples are exactly that. You have a choice of which car you want to buy, but you don't get to individually pick all of it's components unless you get something custom built.

  13. Re:What if all on earth died right now? on Shuttle Discovery Docks With Space Station · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a Sci-Fi TV series (or at least a pilot) about something like this?

  14. Re:Why not leave shuttle up there? on Shuttle Discovery Docks With Space Station · · Score: 1

    That's an even worse idea. You might be able to keep a shuttle up there if you just shut everything down and let the rest of the ISS take care of power and oxygen, but if you want to keep it capable of flying again there is no way it can stay up there for more than a couple weeks.

    Invisible expect for the whole fact that you're now so bright in IR that people could spot you from another planet, not even mentioning all the other EM noise emitted.

    You may be slightly less visible on radar, but you're screaming "I'M HERE!!!!" in so many other ways it doesn't matter.

  21. Re:Um, not quite.... on Five Times the US Almost Nuked Itself · · Score: 1

    Yes. Being intentionally precise is not difficult. A fire accidentally setting off each explosive within the tiny fraction of a second required is incredibly unlikely. This is not a difficult concept, if you pull your head out of your ass.

  22. Re:Um, not quite.... on Five Times the US Almost Nuked Itself · · Score: 1

    Even if the core had been loaded, HE-implosion based nuclear bombs require incredibly precise timing of the explosives to compress the core to criticality. You could never get a nuclear detonation from a bomb in a fire. It is essentially impossible to detonate one of these unless you do it on purpose. It would have been a dirty bomb, yes, and dangerous. But 6 figure immediate death toll? Only if you have no concept of how these bombs work.

    The software is dead. The board has resigned. The primary developer says the software in use now was never meant to be secure. It was an early testing version, and should never have been distributed.

    Haystack was designed to circumvent government censorship in Iran. If it doesn't work, it can get people killed.
